TPS Overlay
by stool
TPS Overlay puts a compact configurable panel on screen that tracks server ticks, tick time, ping and frame rate on the Fabric loader, for the 26.1.2 game version.
What it does
The overlay gives a lightweight readout of server tick rate, average tick time, ping and client frame rate, so a player can check performance without opening the F3 debug screen. Each metric can be switched off individually when the panel feels crowded, and the text line follows a custom format built from placeholders. An optional graph scrolls over time and can be set as the primary widget, while the position of both widgets is adjusted in edit mode.
On a server that runs the mod, TPS and MSPT are measured on the server and sent to clients, so the numbers reflect the server itself. On a vanilla server, ping and FPS still appear, but the server metrics do not. The client commands, reached through a help command, print the figures in chat for players who prefer numbers over the panel. Settings are handled through YetAnotherConfigLib, and Mod Menu can open the config screen when it is installed.
Installation needs Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Mod Menu is optional. Either side can run the mod, and neither side needs it. Files are published for Fabric only, for one game version, 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file. The source code is public under the MIT License, and the mod is open source.
